                    Trump's Former Chief Of Staff Called Him A 'Fascist'

                    File photo dated November 16, 2017 shows U.S. President Donald J. Trump pushes back his Chief of Staff John Kelly to make a statement to the media while departing a meeting of the House Republican Conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, USA. Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, who was former President Donald Trump‘s longest-serving chief of staff, called Trump’s leadership style “dictatorial,” “fascist” and lacking empathy in new interviews this week. Now Vice President Harris, who is trying to peel off moderate Republican voters and independents in key swing states, is seizing on those warnings to bolster her argument that her opponent is a threat to democracy and too dangerous to hold the office.
